Britain's biggest lend-lease contribution came in the form of 1800 Valentine (2 pdr) tanks. The British designed them as heavy tanks, but by Soviet standards, they are well-armoured and reliable, albeit slow, light tanks.The later-model Valentines had a bigger turret with a dedicated tank commander, making it even more effective.
The British up-gunned the Valentine by squeezing a 6 pdr into the tiny turret (at the expense of having to remove the machine-gun). Small numbers of these were shipped to the Soviet Union, giving the Valentine companies greater punch.
The Valentine was not fast, but it was well armoured and capable of long marches. It was so well liked that, when the Soviet Union eventually ceased production of light tanks, they continued to request shipments of Valentines to fill their need for light tanks.
